Overcoming Doubt (Patreon)

The thing holding me back to start my transition years ago was the idea that I wouldn't look good as a woman. I would look at my body and think to myself: "Look how masculine my body is. There's no way I can fix all the damage testosterone did to my body..."

But then I started seeing the stories of other transwomen, and I noticed most of them were just like me before they started transitioning.

Most people, including my family, laughed at me when I came out to them, they would say there's nothing feminine about me, that there was no way a "masculine guy" like me would look like a woman...

Even LGBT people I met at the time would tell me things like this...

When I look at the mirror now, all I can see is the beautiful woman I became. I had to fight A LOT to become who I am now, and this makes me so proud of myself.

If you are at a point in life where you daydream of transitioning and don't take the first step because you're afraid of the consequences, all I can say is that you have to take the risk. 

Of course, you have to save some money if you know that your parents are going to kick you out of their home because of that. Try to find a job you know people will respect you. Try to surround yourself with people that will stay at your side no matter what.

Some years in the future, you will look behind and remember all the fights you've been through. You will look at yourself and say: "Damn, it was worthy!" Just like I'm doing now.
